Animal Husbandry

The study of genetics, structure and nutrition have led modern intensive farms to an extremely high level of efficiency.

Such high levels of performance, however, weigh heavily on the animals that are put under high levels of stress due to this drive towards productivity.

Furthermore, farms also have to manage the huge quantities of stock effluent that the animals produce daily and that create problems of smell and gas emissions into the atmosphere, crust and sediment which cause problems in the transport of the manure.
